Frequently Asked Questions
Will my images be shared online?
Only if you give permission. After you view your images, you’ll have a chance to decide whether or not you allow for the images to be shared. You are not obligated to share your images online or anywhere if you don’t wish to.
What do I wear to my session?
You can wear whatever you like for your session, from a gorgeous dress to lingerie to only the skin you’re in. You decide. You don’t have to wear lingerie if you don’t want to, there are plenty of options! Prior to your boudoir session date, you will receive an email with all my recommendations and suggestions for your outfits, as well as do’s and don’ts to follow. This will be a helpful guide. We will also have a styling consultation where I will personally come to you and help plan and style all your final outfits to make sure your session runs smoothly and you look and feel amazing in everything. It simply takes all the stress out of it!
Do I bring my own lingerie? Do I have to buy lingerie?
You can if you want to. You can also wear any item or items you like from my client closet. I have lingerie sets, separates, shoes, accessories, and props. Basically anything and everything to make your session that much sexier and glam. We will talk about all the options during your styling consultation.
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes! Hair and makeup -and lashes, are included for all boudoir sessions! My amazing makeup artist will enhance your natural beauty and make sure you look exactly the way you want, from natural and dewy to bold and dramatic. It will be a pampering and fun experience.
Can I bring a friend or significant other to the shoot?
Only the people participating in the session may attend the session. There is no opportunity for people to come and watch. However, your friend or significant other may drive you to the studio, meet me, see where you’ll be, and pick you up afterwards. Trust me, you’ll want to surprise them with all the details about the session anyway.
Can I have pictures nude?
Absolutely! As I mentioned before, you can wear whatever you want. That also means you can wear nothing at all, if that’s what you want to do. Your session is for you and in my studio you have the freedom to bare it all, have fun, and explore this sexy side of you. I do want to mention that you are not obligated at any time to do nude photos if you do not want to.
Where will my session take place?
There are a couple of beautiful studios I rent for my Dallas sessions, depending on the plans we have for each session. Studio location will be shared after we have planned your session at your styling consultation.
The same applies for my sessions in Brownsville and Austin, as well as my travel sessions for Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York.
I don't know how to pose. Can you help me with that?
Definitely yes! During your session I will help guide your posing from head to toe, making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way and having the time of your life. Remember, most of my previous clients are not models, and look how amazing they look in their pictures! You have nothing to worry about. You are in expert and caring hands.
What types of sessions do you offer?
I mostly photograph women’s boudoir and fashion portraits. However, I also offer maternity sessions, couples’, erotica, as well as boudoir and portraits for men.
I love the way my home looks, can we shoot my session here?

The creation retainer is non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, it must be within 30 days of your original date, or you will be charged a rescheduling fee. If anything happens, you can always contact me directly and we can talk about it. I want to make sure you have this amazing experience.
